AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
By ALFRED W. McCANN
The Purcliasc of Nine Hindquarters of
Diseased Old Cows Bearing the "In

voked a Situation Which Contrast
ed With the Reactionary Activities
of the People's Representatives,
Discloses Much of the Dangers by
Which Self-Government Is Con
fronted When the Things to Be
Governed Are Deliberately Hidden
From the Eyes of the Governors.
Following my purchase of nine
hindquarters of diseased old cows,
bearing the New York City Health
Department "inspected and passed"
stamp, Lucius P. Brown, director of
the Bureau of Food and Drug inspec
tion, commenced to realize the des
perate nature of the situation which
confronted him.
During a period of sudden activity
lasting ten days he located, on his own
account, twelve more hindquarters of
diseased old cows in the butcher
shops of New York City, each piece of
meat bearing the "inspected and pass
ed" stamp of his department. The
difference between the results of ac

Medicine Relieved Him of
Khcumatic Pains
IS OUT IX ALIj WEATHERS
"My business is buying and selling
horses, cattle and other livestock and
I have to be driving around the coun
try in oil sorts of weather," says
George W. Eardman, of Millersburg,
Pa., one of the largest livestock com
mission dealers in this section.
"As a result I contracted rheuma
tism and it had been banging away
at me for a good long time. Nothing
fancy about it, Just the plain old-fash
ioned kind of rheumatism that tells
you when there's a change coming
in the weather by making you ache all
over. That's the kind that had me.
"Well, sir, I took a crack at all
sorts of remedies that I heard about
from time to time but nary one of
them could scare old man Rheumatiz
and he Just, sat tight and said noth
ing, Just kept whanging away at me
for all he was worth.
"But I put one over on him when
I started taking Tanlac for I had
him on the run before he knew what
was coming.
"Tanlac sure did chase away the
aches and pains, it seemed to simply
melt away until now I can stand any
kind of weather with nary a twinge.
It'B great stuff, that Tanlac, and I'd
advise every rheumatic to take it and
shake his misery."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being Introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas'
Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station.

tivity and inactivity was beginning
to make itself felt at last.
In the midst of these disclosures I
caught one of the slaughterer's agents
in the act of selling four hindquarters
of tubercular meat. The circum
stances surrounding his offense were
so incriminating that he decided the
best way to escape the consequences
of his act would be to tell all he
knew.
He confessed that a graft fund ex
isted in the slaughtering establish
ments for the payment of Health De
partment officials. He said he had
frequently seen the drivers of the
slaughterers stamp the carcasses of
diseasesd cows with the Health De
partment seal given to them for that
purpose by Health Department offic
ials.
Confessing that he had been mixed
up in the distribution of hundreds of
diseased carcasses, he described how
the forequarters were boned out and
put away in cold storage to be dis
posed of under favorable market con
ditions, to bologna and frankfurter
manufacturers.
"The Health Department," he said,
"keeps the slaughterers informed of
the movements of out-of-town in
spectors, so that when a threatened
survey becomes imminent the killing
plants can be closed down for sev
eral days until all danger is passed.
As four more diseased carcasses
bearing the United State Bureau of
Animal Industry "inspected and pass
ed" stamp, were discovered in New
York shops by the agents of Director
Brown, thus proving that the federal
government's inspection system also
contained loop holes. I escorted the
author of the confession recorded
above to Commissioner of Accounts
Wallstein, who learned that on the last
twelve killing days of January, 1916,
3,364 cows were slaughtered in the
establishments operating under the
jurisdiction of the New York City
Health Department.
During this time 1,847 udders, so
badly diseased that they were too
unsightly for sale, were condemned.
These condemnations indicated the
true character of the cows that finally
met their death in order to feed New
York City with diseased meat after a
long career in the production of dis
eased milk.
Their physical condition at the
time of slaughter indexed the qual
ity of milk which up to that hour
they had been producing for the but
ter and cheese factories of the State.
Commissioner Wallstein needed no
further stimulation. He began at once
the construction of a trap that would
catch the offenders and establish the
legal evidence of their guilt.
In the mean time the New York
State senators and assemblymen con
stituting the agricultural committee
of the Legislature at Albany saw to
it that all laws aimed at the eradica
tion of the evils which these disclos
ures revealed were smothered.
One of the members of the com
mittee that buried the bovine tuber
culosis bill, formulated by Dr. Theo
bald Smith of the Rockefeller Insti
tute Dr. Veranus A. Moore of Cornell
University, and Seth Low, was Sena
tor Charles W. Wicks. Wicks was
appointed by the Legislature to act as
chairman of an investigating commis
sion endowed by the representatives
of the people with an appropriation
of $25,000 for its expenses.
While the devilment which we are
about to describe was being enacted
the Wicks committee entered into a
series of extraordinary adventures
which culminated, in the latter part
of 1916, In Governor Whitman's ap
pointment of Senator Wicks to mem-
